Afflictions

Afflictions are explicitly bundled sets of status effects that can be applied to, suspended, or fully removed from a character. While some afflictions have explicit overriding or exclusivity rules, most afflictions can co-exist with other afflictions.

When a spell is cast on a target, it and its subordinate effects and afflictions are all bundled together in a procedurally-bundled container created by the spell. If these procedurally-bundled containers are applied while an identical version is in effect, the new version replaces the old.

No matter how many effects are on the target, generally only the best bonuses and the worst penalties are applied. Some enemies can be immune to one or more afflictions. If so, these afflictions cannot be applied to those enemies.
